Fall creations

I love Fall! It's not too hot, not too cold. You get to spend saturdays making chili, watching football, baking apple desserts, driving to the mountains and if you're me making fall creations! I've been bitten by the crafting bug and have been busy creating some fall decor.


This first one is probably my favorite. I wanted a fall wreath for the door and I spotted an adorable creation on etsy that I just had to try for myself. I used a wreath ring, a yard of orange burlap fabric and black and white damask ribbon. I cut the orange burlap into strips about an inch or so wide and 6 inchs long. This took a while and was pretty messy but nothing my vacuum couldn't take care of. I then tied the burlap around the ring alternating between the inside and outside ring. When I got to the end I tied a double bow onto the end. And Viola! a beautiful wreath.


This second project I am pretty proud of because I hand painted the M onto my white pumpkin and dotted the orange pumpkin freehand as well. I know your impressed now too, haha. Both of these pumpkins cost less than $10 to do. The fake white pumpkin I bought on sale at the craft store, I also bought black acrylic and puffy paint. The little real pumpkin I got at the grocery store. It's a cute little pumpkin display for my counter but you could do lots of variations of this for your front porch or dining table.

I hope your enjoying the fall weather.

Ciao!
